Description | An anonymous researcher claims to have managed to hack the multimedia system of a Nissan Xterra -an SUV available in countries such as the United States-. This hacker found a vulnerability, through which he was able to insert a USB drive with a code that allowed him to access the system’s kernel with administrator privileges, thus being able to make modifications of all kinds to the OEM software. This infotainment unit -the ‘lcn2kai’, manufactured by Bosch- is present in other models of the manufacturer such as the Altima, the Rogue or the Sentra -which are not marketed in Western Europe-. | |
